Music meme 4: Futzting Around

[jlh]

Wow, you guys really ran through the classic rock! This next mix feels very much like the time I made it—the early 90s—and since there isn't a ton of that music that's come back into vogue in the way that 80s music has I'm not betting on this meme getting all that far. Consider it a challenge! I made this as a sort of "cleaning the house" mix for my college roommate and good friend S____, back when she was living in Prague. the title is a phrase of hers.
